PAWSITIVE REVIEWS

Ellie - DOG PAWRENT TO:Artemis

"Jo Lyons is one of Australia’s best pet photographers. Beyond her exceptional skills and industry qualifications, the thing that sets Jo apart is her genuine connection with, and love for, animals.

I am the founder of an animal welfare charity that has been the recipient of Jo’s generosity. She has not only photographed our events but implemented fundraising initiatives in support. This altruism extends to many charities and local pounds in which her images have helped save the lives of many animals over many, many years.

You’d be hard pressed to find both a better photographer and human being."

Stephanie - DOG PAWRENT TO:Max, Mia and Mya

"I had seen Jo’s charitable work on Facebook and thought she captured some amazing images. I looked up her website and from first contact knew I had made the right choice.

I wanted a special present for my husband, an artwork we could treasure forever and Jo was amazing with my 3 fur babies, they are getting on and have varying personality traits but they adored her especially her wonderful treats.

She was caring, thoughtful and very patient each visit and the final products were wonderful, she had captured their personalities perfectly.

I can’t thank Jo enough for all her hard work and I am so happy with the final artworks, I highly recommend Jo, you will not be disappointed."

Angelique - CAT PAWRENT TO:Lennon

"We had Jo come out to take some birthday shots of our kitten for his first birthday. Lennon was a stray who we fostered and fell head over heels for and decided to add to our family. He’s a very active and distracted kitten and he’s difficult to catch sitting still. Jo not only captured such brilliant photos, but handled Lennon in a compassionate and professional way. Given he can be a little... annoying... she was so patient with him and he warmed up to her so quickly.

Thank you Jo, we will cherish these photos for many years to come. Thank you for capturing Lennon in the light we see him in. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our youngest man and will be coming back in future for the rest of our furry, feathered and scaly family!"

KIRSTEN - DOG PAWRENT TO:Pepper

"What a beautiful experience!

I have seen Jo's work on social media as she is a huge supporter of the rescue group, Paws for Thought, amongst others. I was the highest bidder in an auction to support PFT and it was worth every penny! Jo was organised and explained how the shoot would work, took time to get to know our pooch and offered some suggestions on the different shoots and venues we could go to. We agreed on a venue and Jo shared some details about it so I could get a feel for it and make sure I was comfy.

On the day I felt like Jo was Pepper's long lost Aunty! The love and care she showed to get the 'perfect' shot - even bringing along her scissors to remove long blades of grass!

Jo completely went above and beyond my expectations and captured our girl Pepper in the most beautiful way. It's obvious that Pepper has a love of life, her humans and running and Jo was able to capture these amazing images that we will treasure in years to come.

"Thank you so much to Jo Lyons Photography for volunteering her time each and every week by coming to Sutherland Shire Council Animal Shelter to photograph the shelter pets.

The ongoing support is very much appreciated, and Jo's amazing and always beautiful photographs of the shelter pets are what helps them find new homes.

Jo is an integral part of our shelter team and always a gem to work with.

Her dedication to helping shelter and rescue animals is an inspiration.

Thank you Jo for everything 💖💖💖"

NICK & Saskia - DOG PAWRENTs TO:Tilly

"Our biggest concern before booking our shoot was that Tilly our Cavoodle may not behave enough to get some great shots, however Jo has a lot of patience and captured a great variety of shots for us.

Our favourite part of the experience was toward the end when Jo captured Tilly running around on the beach naturally.

Jo is very professional and captured some brilliant shots of Tilly"

EMMA - DOG PAWRENT TO:ARGO

"What an amazing experience and talented photographer.

Jo came to my house to take photos of my dog Argo, who is an ex pound dog. Thankfully Argo behaved himself and Jo was able to take the most beautiful photos I will always treasure.

Thank you Jo x"

KIERAN - DOG PAWRENT TO:BEAR, SCHONDA & ECHO

"Incredible...amazing...compassionate...understanding. These are just some words I would use to describe Jo.

I contacted Jo at a difficult time as two of my dogs have been diagnosed with serious health conditions and I don't know how much time we have.

Obviously I have been distraught, panicked, absolutely beside myself, but Jo has such an incredible presence and kind heart...and she came into our home and showered my three babies with love and attention.

The time she spent with us taking beautiful photos reminded me to live in the moment, enjoy the small things and most importantly the time we have.

Thank you Jo you have been a God send and to anyone thinking of having their furbabies pictures taken...look no further...Jo is an amazing woman who loves animals and has a heart of gold.

She will take the time to capture each personality and ensure you will have memories to treasure forever."

APARNA - FRIEND TO:FLOYD, LUCY & THEIR DOG PAWRENT RUSS

"I was looking for a special present for my best friend's 40th Birthday and thought professional photos of his dogs, and him together, would be something he could cherish forever.

Being an Aussie in the US my search was dependent on Google, recommendations, and a lot of research. I contacted Jo via email and she responded right away and answered all of my questions very promptly.

I knew my friend's dogs would need a photographer who was patient and kind since they tend to be fearful of new people, and Jo seemed wonderful when we corresponded. She was fantastic with them from their first meeting and made them feel comfortable during the photo shoot.

The photos, photo book, and video are absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful to have found her. She was able to present the book to my friend while I was visiting over Christmas and the timing was perfect. Finally meeting her in person was a great joy too.

If Jo lived in the US, or ever visits, I'll definitely have her take photos of my dogs.

Thank you so much Jo! Your talents and amazingly big heart are a great gift, thank you for sharing it all with Russ, Lucy, Floyd, and myself."

Having a large family of dogs and cats, the time taken for pre shoot, the shoot itself and the photo consultation as well as then making another long trip to drop off the finished products was exceptional.

I have wonderful forever memories of my beautiful pets and the options provided gave us a fantastic choice and range.

Prices were extremely reasonable and quality of the finished products were brilliant.

I highly recommend Jo to capture the personality and essence of your pets and appreciate the extra efforts Jo put in for such a huge day. Thank you Jo your pictures will be treasured forever xx"

LEAH - DOG PAWRENT TO:CLEO, MAX & CHIKO

"Cleo was a massive part of our lives and the last few months have been pretty sad.

But we now have a beautiful keepsake that we can look at and remember the day she visited all her favourite haunts.

Thank you."

HILDY - DOG PAWRENT TO:BENNY & SYLVESTER

"Its really hard to describe Jo’s work because to simply say she took outstanding photos of our two dogs Benny and Sylvester doesn't do her work justice. It has been an amazing experience.

Jo had an instant connection with both of our dogs (which is not easy because one is extremely shy when it comes to strangers and the other one can be a bit over the top) and you could tell that both dogs loved every minute of the photo session.

We had great fun that day and when we saw the photos later we were absolutely blown away. Jo had perfectly captured the personalities of our dogs. Each photo tells a story of who they are.

I feel that I could show someone who does not know our dogs the photos without saying a word and once that person has seen the photos they would know our dogs.

We can’t thank Jo enough for all her hard work and dedication!"

NATHAN - DOG PAWRENT TO:ABI, MARY, COOKIE & CALEB

"We recently employed Jo to take some photos of our little doggies. To say that she went above and beyond is an enormous understatement. She was easy to talk to, very interested in meeting us and our dogs (on multiple occasions) and it was just an absolute pleasure. That doesn't even include the amazing photographs she took, that have enriched our home.

I could write an essay, but I just wanted to say, thank you Jo!And any of you out there, if you're thinking of having your dogs photographed, give Jo a call!"

NESSIE - DOG PAWRENT TO:ABI, MARY, COOKIE & CALEB

“I know I’ve said it before, but I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful photos of them all. They will always hang on my walls, screen saver and frames. Never under estimate what you do, Jo”
